WorkCover Queensland is entering an exciting new chapter, with a renewed strategic focus and strong executive leadership guiding our organisation's 2030 Strategy. We're embarking on an enterprise-wide transformation that will enable us to continue making a positive difference to people's lives and keep Queenslanders working.

Reporting to the Manager, Governance and Innovation, the Procurement Governance Innovation Lead plays a central role in shaping how WorkCover sources and manages its provider network — directly enabling our vision to be the best workers' compensation insurer in Australia. You'll guide, coach, and support team members to deliver outcomes that drive customer advocacy, while acting as a trusted advisor on complex and high-risk procurements across the organisation.

• Provide strategic advice to Executive Leadership on procurement risk, compliance, and policy direction, including managing assurance activities, audits, and issue management
• Drive innovation across the procurement lifecycle, including the adoption of digital, data, and AI-enabled solutions to lift capability and efficiency
• Embed probity, ethical procurement, and conflict of interest management practices, and build procurement capability through training, coaching, and governance support organisation-wide

• Sound working knowledge of the Queensland Procurement Policy and relevant legislative requirements
• Proven ability to provide credible strategic advice to senior stakeholders on procurement risk and probity
